I think we all know by now just how much I love creating tablescapes, but just in case you don’t know – I LOVE setting a beautiful table, and creating an inviting atmosphere to welcome friends & family into. So much so, that I have an entire section dedicated to Tablescapes on my blog – found HERE. And, I also wrote a book all about creating meaningful tablescapes, which you can find more about – HERE. But you already knew all that, right?! Well, the holidays just so happens to be my favorite time to create tablescapes, so today I’m sharing some Christmas tablescape ideas with you, and who knows, maybe it will inspire you to set a beautiful table this Christmas as well!
Creating tablescapes for me is so much more that just having a grand design. It’s about putting together the tiniest details that welcome our guests to a memorable experience.
Tablescape :
An artistic arrangement of articles on a table.
As I get ready to start pulling out pieces to set the table for our own Christmas Eve dinner, I get so excited with the endless possibilities of what to create. The holidays gives me a chance to pull out my finest pieces, ones that we don’t typically use throughout the year. Creating a Christmas tablescape, and having Christmas Eve dinner together, has quickly become and experience that even my kids look forward to as well!

Bre, I love all your tablescapes! You do the best job. Thank you for sharing.
I am looking for a white fur table runner…but can’t find one. Can you tell me where you got yours?
Thank you!
Merry Christmas!

New Hampshire!
Hi Christine!! Thank you so much!! I have seen them at HomeGoods before – but it is hit or miss. I did find this similar one from Wayfair though – https://rstyle.me/+JK_qmIzGQjNH1EB2g6XDUw
Our bedrooms are quite small with very large and oddly placed windows. I’m always at a loss as to where to place the furniture. Help! And, thank you.
Ohh I’m so sorry to hear, I know how frustrating that can be. Have you tried searching on Pinterest – Bedroom Furniture layout ideas?
What an exciting giveaway! Thanks for the opportunity to win a copy of all these books!
I love your style of simple looking tables, that appear to be well thought out. I just don’t have collections enough to makes such a beautiful table. Arghhh
Ohh thank you Deborah! It has definitely been collected over time 🙂
Beautiful use of blue…
I have a small thrifted table that I want to make into something special – but I feel like I lack the nerve and the how-to.
Also I’m a fan of each of these bloggers, I read your blogs whenever you post.
Ohhh Thank you so much Mary! Keep your eyes peeled, I know the right inspiration for you table will come along. Sometimes I just wait until I find just the right inspiration, and then the “ah-ha!” moment strikes 🙂
Basement living space….there’s very little natural light and it’s naturally cooler. How do I make up for the lack of windows and the temps?
Adding table and floor lamps would be my first go-to. They add light, but also make a space feel cozier. Keeping a basket of throw blankets on hand always helps with the heat too, and maybe adding a small space heater?
This talented group of ladies makes my heart smile! My decorating dilemma is the lack of decorator’s confidence. I so enjoy decorating however, I always seem to second guess myself when adding the finishing touches. I would greatly enjoy being immersed in this amazing collection of decorating knowledge for the encouragement and tips that I need to decorate with confidence. Merry Christmas, Y’all!
Ohh So sweet Tristy!! Good luck and Merry Christmas to you as well!
Love your book or all your creative ideas! Thanks for offering a chance to win these books!
I love to put rooms together but have trouble with spacial reasoning…how big of a rug, etc. You’re a pro at it all! 😉
Ohh Thanks Erin!! I always try to make sure that at least the front two feet of my furniture are on the rug. It helps the furniture feel more grounded 😉
Your blog is one of my favorites and your tablescapes are always so beautiful and inspiring!
Ohh Thank you so much Paula!
I always am looking for new ways to decorate my table and need some new inspiration but without paying every5hing new.
I love to repurpose items I already have too! Galvanized buckets for vases, candlesticks from other rooms. Goodwill and the dollar store are also great places to find things inexpensively 🙂
Love what you show, inspiring
I tried to leave a comment on the giveaway square for the books, but couldn’t. I Hope somehow I entered, as I would really love to win the 6 books, to help me with tablescapes, decorating and helpful tips!
